[Mark_Aviation]

Has there been any further updates on this? It’s getting pretty close now.

Just a waiting game till a very certain ALTRV gets published in the coming days.

According to the BBC, Trump will arrive in the UK on the 3rd and then go to France for the D-Day 75th on the 6th.

Be interesting to see if and when cars and/or rotary wing assets arrive and where?
Would he need them both sides of the channel?
Only a few more days to wait

He is based in Ireland (Shannon) on at least the 5th, then departs to France for the 6th.

Fingers X for clear skies!

[acsmith117]

Looks like a C-17 each for Boscombe Down and Shannon
Originating from Andrews.
See the Reach section.
Cars or Helicopters???

Last year the helo,s arrived early and did practice runs so if using MDH would then need to reposition to Northolt.Not sure if the base has the security available due to the work going on to be able to cope.Maybe send Trump a tweet and ask him.lol

[dragonchaser]

Anyone at Boscombe notice what they off loaded today?

[mudhen15]

Anyone been to Regent's Park to photo the helo's before?

[twinstar]

The ambassadors residence in regents Park is surrounded by walls and trees, no view can be had of the Helicopters on the ground. Can be good for landing shots as they approach fairly low over the park.

Recently popped up for 40 seconds on my sbs was Chièvres based UH60 90-26266 (AE0A7D). May or maybe not be related to visit?

[Andy Marden]

It went to Biggin Hill.
I thought it was Fort Riley based, deployed to Europe through Zeebrugge in January.

[big john]

Thanks Andy
Since your post the inter-web source I used ( which shall remain nameless) has been updated.

I think I heard Mr T say, in response to Mr Corbin's attitude to him and the USA, that one of the things we need the US for is the posting of its Forces in the UK and we should be grateful for that. Mmm. as I understand it the USAF is here as part of the NATO component. The NATO maxim is 'an attack on one of the members is an attack on the Organisation' and it would only be under those circumstances that US Forces would render military assistance to the UK. Besides which, they are in the process of drawing-down all those units currently at Mildenhall, prior to the base closure.

AF1 to depart Andrews tonight 2020 local , 0120 GMT so with a flight time of about seven hours an early morning arrival in UK airspace.
